Former NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell had recently signed with TNA Wrestling. The former WWE Superstar made her first appearance for TNA at the Rebellion pay-per-view. She recently shared her thoughts on whether she would return to WWE.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Indi Hartwell clarified that she did not sign with TNA with the intent to use the promotion to make her way back to NXT. She also shared that since she is only 28 years old, she does feel that she could someday return to WWE.
“It’s not my intention right now to sign with TNA so I can go back to NXT. I went to TNA because TNA is a company I grew up watching. I’m genuinely a huge fan of TNA, and I feel like that’s where I can thrive the most. But like I mentioned before, I’m only 28 so I do feel like there is a path back to WWE someday, I’m not closing the door on that. All my friends are still there, and there’s a lot that I didn’t get to do, so it’s definitely something that I can see happening,” Indi Hartwell said.
Indi Hartwell thanks WWE for helping her get her green card
During the same interview, Hartwell shared that she did not think that her release was going to happen. Despite leaving WWE, she is thankful the company helped her obtain a green card.
“I didn’t honestly feel like it was coming, especially when it happened. So my whole time at WWE, I was always scared of getting released. Add another factor to it is that I’m an international, so people don’t really understand visas, green cards. But that was something that was always in the back of my mind, being scared of being fired. But it wasn’t till my last two weeks at WWE I finally felt comfortable. I finally felt like, yeah, I’m part of the roster. I did the Netflix shoot and then I got released.”
Hartwell then mentioned that she got her green card, thanks to WWE.
“I have my green card. Shout out to WWE, because they did it for me and they paid for it. This was a few years ago. I’m super grateful. I know a lot of people have to worry about that. I saw what Steph De’Lander went through when she got released. It’s something that Americans don’t really understand the whole visa thing, but I’m good.”
